Adrian J. Walker’s five standalone novels range across speculative and post-apocalyptic settings. From the Storm (2012) was his debut; The Last Dog on Earth (2017) follows a man and his dog through collapsing London; The Other Lives (2018) explores alternate realities; The Human Son (2020) imagines the last human child raised by artificial successors; Emperor’s Fate (2022) is his most recent.

The standalones share Walker’s interest in stripping away the comforts of modern life to find out what people are made of. His characters are ordinary rather than heroic, and the genre elements serve the character studies rather than the other way around.

Which Adrian J. Walker standalone should I read first?

The Last Dog on Earth (2017) is a good starting point for readers who want Walker’s character-driven approach without the running-across-Britain commitment. It follows a reclusive man and his dog during a societal collapse in London, and it is shorter and more contained than the Running Club duology. For something more philosophical, The Human Son (2020) explores what it means to be human through the eyes of an artificial being raising the last human child.
